ane and Walker, St. Andrew's". They are without date, but
cannot range far from 1818. Here are some specimens of his style: "The
Norwich Corn Mart. By J. Parkerson, Junior."

_At one o'clock the busy scene begin_,
_Quick to the hall they all are posting in_;
_The cautious merchant takes his stand_,
_The farmer shows the produce of his land_,

etc., for sixty-six lines. "On Mr. L . . . taking leave of his wife and
children, who was sentenced to transportation for fourteen years" (!):--

_Hannah_, _farewell_, _I'm bound to go_,
_To taste the bitter draught of woe_,

134 lines. "A Description of the Pine-Apple at Trowse":--

_Both Beauty and Art have exerted their skill_,
_You will find on a spot near the brow of a hill_;
_The hill is near Norwich and call'd Bracondale_,
_I stept into Vince's myself to regale_,

etc., four pages of that.--124. Mr. C.: Thomas William Coke, Esq., of
Holkham, Earl of Leicester in 1837, and died in 1842.

Pages 128-133. The Wake of Freya: This incident must have occurred to
Mrs. Borrow at her home, Dumpling Green, East Dereham, on a Friday night,
5th December, 1783, when she was twelve (not "_ten_") years old. Her
eldest sister, Elizabeth, would be in her seventeenth year. _Friday_ was
then, as now, market day at Dereham. The place was the Blyth farm about
one and a half miles (not "_three_") from "pretty D". The superstition
referred to in this episode is, or was, a very common one in Norfolk, and
even other countries. See the _Norfolk Chronicle_ for 14th May, 1791;
Glyde's _Norfolk Garland_, pp. 13-14, and George Borrow in the _Quarterly
Review_ for January, 1861, p. 62.--130. Freya: The Venus of the North was
the _sister_ of Frey, according to Mallet (p. 94), and the original
sources.--136. To London: Crome (John's teacher) died at Norwich, 22nd
April, 1821; but John could not leave until after the Regimental
Training, which closed that year on 26th June; hence his departure may be
set down for the last of June, 1821.--136. Rafael: Note spelling here
(also pp. 223 and 225) and _Raphael_ on p. 352.--137. Corregio, read
_Correggio_.--139. Murray and Latroon, the Scotch outlaw and the "English
Rogue". See _Bibliog._ at the end of _Romany Rye_.--142. "Draoitheac,"
magic, read _draoidheachd_ (Ir.).--144. Muggletonians: Evidently a
Borrovian slip here. See _Notes and Queries_ for 3rd April, 1852, p.
320.--145. Vedel: Anders Sorensen Vedel, first
